    Nice one, I'll have a chat with the coach about fitting it into the programme, I'll make it over whether I'm competing or not, looking forward to checking the place out.

    Excellent!!!
    We're really looking forward to it!:D Should be some craic! You might even convince some more of your club to enter as it's probs only a 15min drive!

    I'll see what I can do ;), is it a WI event, will they need to be members to take part?

    Nope, not WI so no membership required. :) We also have a good few members that are only lifting a few weeks that might be competing, so singlets won't be required either!

    The guys really want it to be a fun, social event rather than a formal one!

    strengthshop.co.uk, worked out about €58 delivered I think, they also have the older blue ones but they're more expensive.

    Bar x 3 x 3+3
    30kg x 2 x 3+3

    Snatch
    30kg x 3 x 2
    40kg x 2 x 2
    50kg x 2 x 1
    55kg x 1
    58kg x 1
    60kg x 1
    62kg x 1
    64kg x 1
    66kg, miss x 3, this would have equaled my PR, the first rep was very close.

    Tall clean + dip clean.
    Bar x 3 x 3+2
    30kg x 3 x 2+2
    40kg x 3 x 2+2

    Clean and jerk
    40kg x 2 x 2
    50kg x 2 x 1
    60kg x 1
    70kg x 1
    78kg x 1
    82kg x 1
    85kg x 1
    87kg, miss, would have been a PR c+j, missed the jerk.

    Back squat.
    Bar x 5
    60kg x 3
    80kg x 1
    100kg x 1
    110kg x 1
    120kg x 1
    125kg x 1, felt easy
    130kg x 1, +2.5kg PR, ugly as sin and sloooow but a PR's a PR :D

    Good Mornings
    40kg x 3 x 10

    Great session, got close to snatch and c+j PR's, my technique is getting better at the higher percentage lifts and to get a PR back squat was the icing on the cake.
    Would be nice to hit these kind of numbers over at Refugees next week.

    I have these ones and they're great but I desparately want to change them for the new PINK rehbands:(

    Yeah, I had a cheaper pair of sleeves, I had to pull them back up my legs after every rep and the fell apart after a few months, these rehbands are the business though, should have bought them ages ago but the price was putting me off.

    You only want the pink ones so you can justify buying those Romaleos :).

    Absolutely!!!
    My coach had persuaded me against buying the yellow Romaleos cos they would suit me as a lifter...but now that they have the in PINK there will be no persuading.....Fashion is more important than suitable shoes:pac::pac:

    Looked like the last 87 was going to fly up, as the one before it looked easy. Don't know the names of the lifts, but Jesus they're very technical looking. I'd be in a hula hoop trying to think of all the stuff you'd need to do correctly while doing the lifts. Mad altogether :)

    Thursday 4th of September.

    Split jerk.
    Bar x 2 x 3
    40kg x 2 x 2
    60kg x 2 x 1
    80kg x 1
    90kg, miss, too big of a jump,
    85kg x 1
    90kg x 1
    96kg, miss, I walked it out and dipped but didn't fancy it so dumped the bar, I'll get it next time ;).

    Power snatch.
    Bar x 3 x 2
    30kg x 3 x 2
    40kg x 3 x 1
    43kg x 3 x 3

    Power clean.
    Bar x 2 x 2
    30kg x 2 x 2
    40kg x 2 x 1
    50kg x 2 x 1
    58kg x 3 x 2

    Push press.
    Bar x 4
    30kg x 4
    40kg x 4 x 4.

    Power cleans were a bit sh1t today, they're probably one of my least favorite lifts, I always pull way to early and make contact too low on my thigh, when I'm getting it wrong my thighs end up red raw from the bar grazing them.
    I took it easy on the push press, they were supposed to be heavier but I didn't want to smash my shoulders before Saturday.

    I've cut back on my carb intake a bit this week to make sure I make weight on Saturday, was feeling a bit low on energy today so I popped by my sisters on the way home from the gym and had some spaghetti and meatballs and a slice of cheesecake :D.

    Saturday 6th of September.

    Competed in the RWC Open.

    Snatches,
    62kg/64kg/67kgX


    Snatches were a bit all over the place, I over pulled the first two, caught them high with my weight on my heels, they were borderline power snatches. On third one I didn't finish the pull and knocked the weight forward, I think my feet were a bit narrow too so there was no chance in saving it.

    Clean and Jerks,
    80kg/84kg/87kg PR


    Happy enough with these, cleans where fairly solid.

    Good day, was allot more relaxed than I was at the Leinsters and could enjoy the day. I didn't taper for this comp and am half way through a high intensity program so I'm delighted with how I lifted.

    Big shout out to Scuba Steve, gymfreak and the rest of the RWC crew for putting on a great day, I'll definitely be lifting at the next one.


    I think my mate was going for a Blair Witch shaky camera kinda vibe :P.

    I was feeling tired yesterday but I think that that's more a result of the beer I drank Saturday night :).

    Saturdays are heavy in training anyway, I was due to hit max snatch and clean and jerk, plus I was supposed to go for a 1RM front squat and a couple of sets of good mornings, so I got off lightly by doing the comp :p
